...Finally, for both job seekers and employers, the web is the new power tool. In addition to sites like LinkedIn, where a growing number of companies are looking to poach top candidates without the need for executive search consultants, many high-level executives are using high-end services such as Bluesteps.com, where more than 50,000 members pay $269 or more to be part of an exclusive online recruiting bank drawn on by 6,000 recruiting firms...

Skyrocketing French Quarter rents simply drove operators to West Lake in search of affordable premises. The fact that the area had a captive market of wealthy Vietnamese and expat residents...
...create a larger market for lithium-ion batteries - a newer, lighter technology whose development is key for the future of electric vehicles. Already Giant, the world's largest manufacturer of pedal bicycles but a small player in the Chinese e-bike market, has made headway in northern Europe selling high-end e-bikes that use lith-ion batteries. "To the extent that the electric bike industry can help get battery costs down, test the technology and get it in the market, that may lead" the development of electric vehicles with more than two wheels, Weinert says...
